Answer:
Different atoms have different masses. Atoms have such a small mass it is more convenient to know their masses compared to each other. Carbon is taken as the standard atom and has a relative atomic mass (A r) of 12. Atoms with an A r of less than this have a smaller mass than a carbon atom.
